Some call it the ledge on Raganello! Some call him the goat path. I think it right to call the edge of the abyss .... And it is on this edge that the usual Sunday "Irreducible" we went to measure our courage and maybe our madness. In the morning we rendezvous I, Max and Gigi. The day is not really ideal because the weather bring rain in the afternoon, but on the Ionian coast is clear and perhaps should not rain. Arriving there, we leave the cars and checked backpacks and equipment we need, we take the path that leads to the Timpa State Property. Having taken the path down to the right, a little later we are faced with a scary show, creepy, but at the same time fascinating. A large canyon perhaps 5oo meters high. A long deep wound in which the rushing stream Raganello. Below us the village of Civita seems that from a crib, then this gap that continues to lose sight of an eye and on the other side of the river in the distance the imposing gable Cassano and Porac. From below this wall I had seen her several times and was already doing his good impression, but from above it is another thing. At first glance the feeling of emptiness. I feel the fear growing in me and a little voice inside says to go back. As we walk the path along the abyss, this fear will not let me, this sense of apprehension does not diminish even in the face of beauty. At the same time, the adrenaline rises, the allure of the empty thrill of this danger, they seem to caress, a perverse and sweet invitation to go forward. The apex then when we reach the entrance of the ledge itself. When Max tells me what, I feel a kind of pressure in the chest. My eyes see a stretch of trail that cuts through the wall with a jump of 400 meters below. This is the time when I really think giving up. Not for me ... I want to go. Gigi also afraid. Then I think it's normal to be afraid. It would not be normal otherwise. The impact of this height takes a bit of apprehension. Then I see Max (lu ciuatu) that you are rolling with laughter at seeing our faces worried. There is even a movie and still laugh. However, we go down there and caliamo the ledge itself. From here on, my fear passes, I'm calm. I'm focused and I'm careful where you step. Step by step walk this thin ledge to the safety of all time and I understand that the first impact was only put in fear. Even the 400-meter vacuum make me more impressive. I enjoy this new adventure with the knowledge to be strong but at the same time humble. I feel different emotions. It is not the usual tour. Here there is all the more. There's the thrill of risk! There's the thrill of the void! There's the adrenaline of the quake danger! There is the intensity of fear! There's the excitement! There is a touch of madness! There is enthusiasm! There is a measure to want to figure out where you can get. The weather, which initially was gracious, he decided to change. Dark clouds coming toward us and we understand that you can not go further. It would not be too surprised by a storm to greet us on the ledge. Then going back. The ledge remains. Can we come again to complete it. In fact, the machines begin to fall came the first drops of rain. At this point, since it is still early, we can do is to go and take refuge in the restaurant more than once we saw emerging from exit unfortunately interrupted by bad weather. Gigino ........ Wait for us ......... We're coming ...... Even these things are daughters of the mountain ............. or not ??????
